Monday Morning Commute - $45k

I can't believe Toy Story 3 didn't win the best picture Oscar. I haven't been this upset since Wall-E lost.

A Baltimore cyclist is in serious condition after a being hit by a car on Saturday. "The man was riding his bike in a marked lane on Saturday when he was struck by an 83-year-old woman who was attempting to make a right turn....No citations or charges have been filed."

College Park, like Alexandria, is hoping to join CaBi on a small scale soon. "officials are still searching for funds to implement a two-year trial program, with plans for single stations in three locations: the College Park Metro station, downtown College Park along Route 1 and the Hollywood commercial district near the Capital Beltway...officials now want to apply for a $66,000 grant from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, but still would need more funds -- the program would cost $136,000 to operate for two years." There might be more stations in College Park, if UMD is succesful in adding some.

I know, I know... it wasn't animated, but The King's Speech actually was a really good movie.

I can't believe I'm posting this b/c I usually don't give two craps about the Oscars, honestly, but FWIW, TS3 did win best animated feature, right? In the shorts categories, isn't there only best animated and best live action? Some people (blasphemy?) would suggest that that TS3 shouldn't even have been nominated for best picture. It's like double dipping.

In either case, you write one hell of a blog, so I'll offer my condolences on Toy Story 3 not winning and leave discussion of the merits of nominations, etc., out of it, especially since, like I said, I don't really care about it too much.

I really can't judge, because I haven't seen the King's Speech yet. But TS3 was some good movie making. Last year's best movie wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, though it did win Best Foreign Language Picture.

A little late to the discussion but The King's Speech was a terrific movie. That said, I saw Toy Story 3 just a few days before my son headed off for his 1st year of college. It totally knocked me out.
